    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Buchmann. You can tell he really cares for his patients. From the initial appointment, the surgery and this latest post op appointment, I have felt so confident in the care I was receiving from him. He's a straightforward and direct communicator which I really appreciated. From the moment you hear the word, "cancer" you just feel terrified and overwhelmed but I felt so comforted after seeing him. I am so grateful to him. He did a fantastic job with the surgery and then even checked on me on his day off while I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. I have never felt so confident in the care I was receiving, than I did under his care.
